Default Kathy likes gray horses

It's a great way to spend about 3 hours. We put our heads together to "team bet"... 'high 5' when we win...and (slightly) frown when we lose. All in the fun of it. Kathy is good at reading workout times, so I count on her for that. We consider the trainer's record, jockey record, horse record (this year and last), track stats, etc. Kathy is partial to gray horses, but a horse's color or name (...except Grace) doesn't drive my choices. About a month ago I just had to bet on "Kathy My Love," but that horse came in last place in her race. As I said, so much for names <g>.

Again...all in the fun of it! Betting together adds to the enjoyment (instead of trying to beat each other, we just want to win as a couple).
